Summary:

The human potential of an agricultural holding is increasingly treated as a capital allowing a competitive advantage. Its development takes place at the same time as the development of technical equipment and technical progress. The size of livestock herd, technical equipment, labour resources and actual workforce needs of organic holdings were determined. It allowed for calculation of the index of utilization of labour resources. The obtained results indicate a low level of human potential utilization, which amounted to average 40% and remained within the range from 29% for the holdings with the smallest area 58% for the facilities with the largest area. A statistical analysis confirms the significant relationship between the utilization of labour resources and the number of able-bodied persons, workload, machine stock replacement value and livestock size.
